to appear from the centre of the crown of the plant. Scales wedge-shaped, obliquely- 
truncated, and there clothed „with much fulvous down. In two of the three male 
plants now in blossom, a targe, erect, subulate point rises from the exterior upper angle 
of each of the scales ; when the strobile first appears they are closely pressed together 
like the germs in the pine-apple, but as it lengthens by age they become detached 
from each other and free on all sides” Roxs. Flor, Indica.

Cvcas crromauis, Linn. (Todda Panna Rurep. Hort. Mal. Cycas sphaerica Roxs.) : 
»In this the strobile, or cone, has the same appearance of a pine-apple, as it has 
also in the other, but the scaies taper from dhe middle, into very long, incurved, 
subulate points; whereas in circinalis (scil. C, Rumphii) they are almost truncated, with 
a point more or less long, rising nearly at right angles, from the exterior upper angle” 
Roxs, l. c. 
Quoad synonyma haec habet: »I dare not venture to quote Todda panna of 
Rurepe’s Malabaricus III, Tab. 13—21, for this, because it has already been quoted 
by Linnaeus, etc. for C, eircinalis, yet I think Rurepe's figures and description, agree
